Definitions
- the present invention relates to polymer compositions of vinylidene fluoride having improved thermal stability. It relates more particularly to such compositions containing a bismuth carboxylate as a thermal stabilizer.
- Vinylidene fluoride polymers, homopolymers and copolymers thermoplastics are well known polymers with a whole interesting properties and, in particular, chemical inertness and resistance to high ultraviolet rays, as well as excellent mechanical resistance. These polymers therefore have many applications in fields, such as for example in the chemical industry, which are particularly demanding in terms of corrosion resistance. In addition, these polymers have a excellent intrinsic thermal stability, so they are most often put implemented in the absence of any thermal stabilizer.
- thermal stability problems are emerging when fading polymers of vinylidene fluoride of very high molecular weights (for example for the shaping of articles requiring a very high mechanical strength) and / or vinylidene fluoride copolymers whose intrinsic thermal stability is lower than that of the homopolymer. It is therefore currently desirable to have thermal stabilizers effective for polymers of vinylidene fluoride.
- thermal stabilization essential of chlorinated polymers, such that vinyl chloride polymers
- thermal stabilizers we have already proposed a multitude of very diverse thermal stabilizers. In practice, these are most often salts of lead, calcium and / or zinc, barium and / or cadmium or organotins and thioetains.
- the present invention aims to provide effective thermal stabilizers for polymers of vinylidene fluoride.
- the invention relates to polymer compositions of vinylidene fluoride heat stabilized with the intervention of an effective amount bismuth carboxylate, characterized in that the bismuth carboxylate is chosen from succinate, acrylate and bismuth terephthalate and mixtures thereof.
- a particularly preferred bismuth carboxylate is succinate.
- a surprising aspect of the present invention is that bismuth carboxylates described as being able to contribute effectively to the thermal stabilization of chlorinated polymers, and otherwise similar to bismuth carboxylates used in the compositions according to the invention, prove ineffective in stabilizing polymers of vinylidene fluoride.
- the effectiveness of the thermal stabilizers according to the invention is such that they allow up to stabilization-discoloration of fluoride polymers used and thermally degraded vinylidene.
- effective amount of bismuth carboxylate is meant to purposes of the present invention an amount sufficient to improve stability thermal, that is to say to prevent coloring of the compositions or, depending on the case, to attenuate the coloring of the compositions (in the case of stabilization used polymers already degraded) when these are subjected to temperatures above the melting temperature of fluoride polymers vinylidene and sufficient to be able to transform them into shaped articles.
- This quantity is not particularly critical and depends, in particular, on the nature, molecular weight and, where appropriate, the extent of the degradation thermal polymers of vinylidene fluoride that one wishes to stabilize.
- bismuth carboxylate is generally used to due to at least 0.05 part by weight, most often at least 0.1 part by weight and more particularly still at least 0.3 part by weight per 100 parts by weight of vinylidene fluoride polymer.
- the content of bismuth carboxylate does not exceed 5 parts by weight; more often than not not more than 3 parts by weight and more particularly still 1.5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of vinylidene fluoride polymer.
- bismuth carboxylates used in compositions according to the invention are not critical. These can therefore be manufactured in any suitable manner. We can, for example, wet manufacturing by reaction, in water at temperature ambient, stoichiometric amounts of bismuth hydroxide and acid carboxylic (succinic, acrylic or terephthalic acids or their mixtures), followed by filtration of the bismuth salt. They can also be manufactured by dry, for example, by kneading-dry grinding, for a few minutes, of appropriate amounts of bismuth trioxide and carboxylic acid (mechanochemistry), followed by annealing of the reaction medium to complete the reaction
- the bismuth carboxylate can be used under any aqueous form, powder or dispersion, for example. However, for reasons for convenience, it is preferred to use it in the form of a powder. In in this case, it is advantageous to use powders whose particles have a average diameter less than about 100 ⁇ m. Preferably, the average diameter bismuth carboxylate particles is between approximately 0.1 and 30 ⁇ m.
- compositions according to the invention may contain the usual additives of polymers of vinylidene fluoride, such as as lubricants, pigments, additives reducing the emission of smoke during combustion ("fumicide” agents) etc.
- lubricants such as lubricants, pigments, additives reducing the emission of smoke during combustion ("fumicide” agents) etc.
- fluicide additives reducing the emission of smoke during combustion
- compositions according to the invention do not contain any other thermal stabilizer than bismuth carboxylate.
- vinylidene fluoride polymer is intended to denote, for the purposes of present invention both the homopolymers of vinylidene fluoride and the thermoplastic copolymers of vinylidene fluoride and comonomers ethylenically unsaturated, advantageously fluorinated, containing at least approximately 75% by weight of monomeric units derived from vinylidene fluoride.
- said thermoplastic copolymers have a melting point at least 130 ° C and preferably at least 150 ° C and more particularly still at 165 ° C.
- fluorinated comonomers which can be used, mention may be made of hexafluoropropylene and chlorotrifluoroethylene.
- the vinylidene fluoride polymers of the compositions according to the invention are advantageously chosen from homopolymers of fluoride vinylidene and its thermoplastic copolymers with hexafluoropropylene or chlorotrifluoroethylene, and more particularly with chlorotrifluoroethylene.
- Thermoplastic copolymers of vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene advantageously contain from 5 to 20% by weight approximately of hexafluoropropylene and, more particularly still, from 8 to 15% by weight about. These latter particularly preferred copolymers have melting temperatures of about 160 to about 135 ° C.
- Thermoplastic copolymers of vinylidene fluoride and chlorotrifluoroethylene advantageously contain from 10 to 25% by weight approximately of chlorotrifluoroethylene and more particularly still from 12 to 22% by weight about. These latter particularly preferred copolymers have melting temperatures of about 170 to about 165 ° C.
- the polymers of vinylidene fluoride used in the compositions according to the invention may consist equally of virgin polymers or used polymers (or mixtures of these polymers). In the case where they are virgin polymers, these most often occur in the form of powders whose particles have an average diameter of approximately 50 at 200 ⁇ m, and most often around 100 to 140 ⁇ m. In case it is used polymers, of course, prior to the incorporation of the bismuth carboxylate, grinding and / or micronizing the articles shaped into used vinylidene fluoride polymers with a view to reducing them to particles crushed (crushed) of reduced size.
- the shreds of used polymers have, from preferably, an average diameter not exceeding 5mm and more particularly another 2mm.
- the ground materials in the case of thermal stabilization of used polymers and thermally degraded, it can be advantageous, although this is not essential, subject the ground materials to a pretreatment with water oxygenated.
- the incorporation of carboxylate is preceded bismuth from a treatment of ground materials using hydrogen peroxide.
- Said processing has advantageously place with stirring in an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide, for example at 35%, for a few tens of minutes to a few hours, preferably for about 2 hours, at a temperature ranging from about 80 at 100 ° C.
- the polymer of fluoride vinylidene is filtered, washed with water and then dried.
- compositions according to the invention does not present any particular problem. All the usual techniques allowing the incorporation of processing ingredients in thermoplastic polymers to form mixtures, in the form of powders or granules, can be used.
- the bismuth carboxylate can be mixed with the polymer of the vinylidene fluoride from the polymerization stage, either by introduction direct in the polymerization medium, at the end of polymerization, or again by addition to the wet cake obtained by spinning or filtration of the dispersion aqueous from polymerization. It is understood that this mode of incorporation is only suitable for compositions according to the invention consisting of polymer of virgin vinylidene fluoride.
- An advantageous procedure usable in in all cases, consists in adding the bismuth carboxylate to the polymer found in the form of a powder (or ground product) during the production of a premix (premix), at the same time as the other additives used in the composition.
- the stabilized composition will be in the form of granules (compounds).
- the bismuth carboxylates used in the compositions according to the invention are so effective that they are suitable not only for the manufacture of very thick parts, such as plates or bars, and for the use of very high weight vinylidene fluoride polymers stability and / or copolymers of vinylidene fluoride lower thermal than that of homopolymers, but also for the stabilization-discoloration of used vinylidene fluoride polymers and thermally degraded making it possible to recycle shredded articles used.
